I can't wait to weigh in on this.
Edit: Nevermind. Silk nailed it early on. Not worth saving.
And Spatial if I didn't know you were male I'd think you were a teenage girl with those romance-filled posts.
I'm not a lovefraud victim. Reading that would make me wallow in self misery which won't help.
If you want to know why I like what he does: he says certain things which I know are sick but turn me on. I pretend to hate it but he knows I like it, and keeps doing it if he isn't bored.
I probably have low self-esteem and when he rejects me it makes me feel good to win his attention back. I want to be naked and beg him not to hurt me but I know if I do, he will view it as a challenge to hurt me, so I don't. That leads to tension which turns into amazing sex.
I know I'm his victim but I want to be the best victim he's ever had. I want him to think about me when I'm not there. I can do this, but I end up falling for him all over again, and always being there.
If I'm not there, will he be possessive again and chase me? It seems like he's started again, but if I call him I'm worried he'll be complacent again.
